Online Casino Players Livid
The iPoker Network is one of the largest internet poker gambling networks in the
world; the software is solid and many incredibly big names in the industry
operate as a part of the iPoker Network. A new policy though through iPoker
means some pretty huge changes in the structure of the gambling sites that
operate on the network. iPoker announced that poker rooms that are paying out a
lot of money will be penalized for their operations and some will even be
removed from the network. Many major online casinos and poker gambling sites
operate as a part of the network, and the iPoker Network has its fair share of
high-rollers and low-rollers – well it looks like iPoker only wants you if
you’re not making too much money off of the poker game play.
A lot of players have viewed this iPoker Network announcement with incredulity –
is the gambling network really asking online casinos to block certain players
from participating in the poker rooms because of their winning game play? The
quick answer to that is yes, that precisely what iPoker intends. For online
casino poker players, this news is unfathomable and completely contradictory to
the way that poker networks have always operated. It’s important though to look
at just what has motivated such a controversial new policy at the gambling site
– and the answer comes down to the economy.
The iPoker Network has not come out with the specific financials related to the
decision, but it’s easy to surmise that the online casino gambling group was not
staying financially stable and that this new policy has been implemented in an
attempt to stay afloat and profitable. |
